Hi Christine, I uploaded the image from Flickr. The image there had an open license and so I was able to directly upload it to the Commons and from there to Maya's page. I assume that means it's free as both Flickr and the Commons have labelled it so. The profile pic that's up at the minute, with the sunglasses. seems less good to me that the previous shot of her at the podium. The sunglasses obscure her lovely clear face. Could we revert it? I hope that helps. Have a good weekend. It's Royal Wedding Week, here in Britain. Best wishes Span (talk) 23:42, 25 April 2011 (UTC)
I have no attachment to the image. It doesn't have much detail on the image itself. I'll leave image placement to you as you are much more up on the article history. There's no more free images on the Commons or Flickr so I'm not sure where we get'd more. There are two bank holidays at the side of either weekend in UK so most people have taken the middle bit off for a ten day holiday. We can't move for flags. There seems a wave of bickering and bad tempered sourness sweeping Wikipedia at the mo. Maybe it's my perception. Best wishes 20:22, 26 April 2011 (UTC)
Dear Christine,
I was happy to see for a week or two that my edited version of my contribution to the history of Sesame Street as below, survived but then apparently was edited out by you on April 23, as it shows in the discussions I am finally beginning to learn to follow.
My motivation was to add some of the behind the scenes, little known facts which I was privy to as project officer for the CTW for Doc Howe. And, as below, I saw some reference to my comments being identified as "vandalism." I looked up the definition on Wikipedia and certainly what I added and my intention does not fit that definition.
Revision as of 18:23, 1 April 2011 (edit) Figureskatingfan (talk | contribs) m (Reverted 1 edit by Halclyon (talk) identified as vandalism to last revision by 207.126.97.2. (TW))"
I'm puzzled why you or whomever deleted my contribution -- as a person that was physically present during these events and also the one who testified before Congress for the research funding for CTW -- would be thought of as vandalistic or why you would not wish for these additions to be part of the history. Please explain. Can you also send your response back to me at my regular email: halclyon@yahoo.com as I am traveling back to the US from Germany where I teach and have better access to my email than to this site?
Thanks,
Hal

"Harold (Doc) Howe II, the US Commissioner of Education, and a friend of Morrisett, provided the first $4 million after brain-storming with his staff how to best reach inner city children via the TV antennas on their roofs with excellent pre-school TV programming which would have behind it, careful formative and summative research on best practices. Since no funds were earmarked for this, Howe decided to use research funds for the initial CTW start-up grant and that began the practice of each segment of Sesame Street being the result of carefully conducted R&D. One of his assistants, Harold C. Lyon, wrote his doctoral dissertation on integrating the affective with the cognitive.[1] Howe appointed Lyon the U.S. Office of Education's project officer for Sesame Street and the Electric Company where he met with the CTW Advisory Board using his influence to integrate the affective with the cognitive content of Sesame Streets program content for more indelible learning." —Preceding unsigned comment added by 88.217.4.107 (talk) 08:04, 28 April 2011 (UTC)

Thanks for uploading File:Heartofawoman.gif. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).
If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. You can find a list of "file" pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "File" from the dropdown box. Note that any non-free images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described in the criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. Courcelles 03:38, 8 May 2011 (UTC)
Thanks for uploading File:Angelou-travelingshoes.jpg. You don't seem to have indicated the license status of the image. Wikipedia uses a set of image copyright tags to indicate this information; to add a tag to the image, select the appropriate tag from this list, click on this link, then click "Edit this page" and add the tag to the image's description. If there doesn't seem to be a suitable tag, the image is probably not appropriate for use on Wikipedia.
For help in choosing the correct tag, or for any other questions, leave a message on Wikipedia:Media copyright questions. Thank you for your cooperation. --ImageTaggingBot (talk) 21:05, 8 May 2011 (UTC)

Hey Christine, I just scheduled the Hep C FL for WP:TFL for 25 July. Since it hasn't been fully re-reviewed, I suggest you go over it with a fine-toothed comb, and possibly ask a few other FL contributors to give it a look over before it hits main page. Hopefully you can also accentuate the fact that it's an "anniversary" main page appearance, making it relevant and increasing its impact. My best to you.

The latest GOCE backlog elimination drive is under way! It began on 1 July and so far 18 people have signed up to help us reduce the number of articles in need of copyediting. This drive will give a 50% bonus for articles edited from the GOCE requests page. Although we have cleared the backlog of 2009 articles there are still 3,935 articles needing copyediting and any help, no matter how small, would be appreciated. We are appealing to all GOCE members, and any other editors who wish to participate, to come and help us reduce the number of articles needing copyediting, as well as the backlog of requests. If you have not signed up yet, why not take a look at the current signatories and help us by adding your name and copyediting a few articles. Barnstars will be given to anyone who edits more than 4,000 words, with special awards for the top 5 in the categories: "Number of articles", "Number of words", and "Number of articles of over 5,000 words". |

Hello! This is a note to let the main editors of this list know that it will be appearing as the main page featured list on July 25, 2011. You can view the TFL blurb at Wikipedia:Today's featured list/July 25, 2011. If you think it is necessary to change the main date, you can request it with the featured list directors The Rambling Man (talk · contribs), Dabomb87 (talk · contribs) or Giants2008 (talk · contribs), or at Wikipedia talk:Today's featured list/requests. If the previous blurb needs tweaking, you might change it—following the instructions of the suggested formatting. If this article needs any attention or maintenance, it would be preferable if that could be done before its appearance on the Main Page so Wikipedia doesn't look bad. :D Thanks!

The infectious disease hepatitis C is caused by the hepatitis C virus (HCV), which affects the liver (location pictured) and is transmitted by blood-to-blood contact. Some of the people diagnosed with the disease have made this known to help raise awareness about hepatitis C and to encourage more people to get tested for the disease. Although HCV was not discovered until April 1989, an estimated 170 million people worldwide are infected by the virus. It is the leading cause of liver transplant in the United States; 8,000–10,000 people die each year in the US from the disease. No vaccine is available at this time. The symptoms of infection can be medically managed when the disease is diagnosed early, and a proportion of patients can be cleared of the virus by a course of anti-viral medicines. The symptoms of HCV infection, especially in its early stages, can be mild enough to conceal the fact of the disease; thus, some people do not seek treatment. As Live Aid founder Bob Geldof states, "Stigma, shame and fear can suffocate awareness. These barriers prevent people from getting tested, receiving treatment, and clearing themselves of this disease". The World Health Assembly has designated 28 July as World Hepatitis Day, in order to raise awareness and understanding of HCV, as well as hepatitis B.

On 25 July 2011, Did you know? was updated with a fact from the article All God's Children Need Traveling Shoes, which you created or substantially expanded. The fact was ... that All God's Children Need Traveling Shoes is author Maya Angelou's recounting of her years spent in Accra, Ghana, in the early 1960s? You are welcome to check how many hits the article got while on the front page (here's how, quick check) and add it to DYKSTATS if it got over 5,000.

I did the six season thing because on OVGuide.com, it has six seasons of Blue's Clues listed. The last official episode of Blue's Clues to air did air in the sixth season according to that website. Same thing on the Blue's Clues Wiki (bluesclues.wikia.com) and TV.com. I just believed in those sources rather than the Wikipedia article; it's fine if you have changed the seasons back to ten. Also, I will try to add references to the Characters section and the List of characters article, but haven't really added much references to articles in a while, so I have basically forgotten how. You could (or you could ask somebody to) rewrite the section and add references based on your research. Oh, and even though the six season thing wasn't caused by a Joe vs. Steve thing, I prefer Steve. --Weemer (talk) 13:25, 1 August 2011 (UTC)

Hi Christine, I'd value your thoughts on this issue. I understand that policy supports taking out unverified material from articles. WP:V "Policy requires that all quotations and anything challenged or likely to be challenged be attributed in the form of an inline citation that directly supports the material." What if an editor decides to challenge everything in a non-BLP article that doesn't have sourcing (which makes up the majority of articles, I imagine). What is to stop them from stripping back all content from hundreds of articles, claiming lack of citations? This is not how it works in practice, it seems - we adds cn tags, section tags etc unless material is glaringly nonsense or garbled. Most of the more minor folk characters and figures of myth have poorly sourced, tagged articles that need work, but could, essentially, have their content deleted. Your thoughts much appreciated. Thanks. Span (talk) 03:26, 2 August 2011 (UTC)

The issue is about free content versus non-free content. The image of Raposo is a non-free one, and non-free images may only be used in very strict circumstances; as I mentioned in the edit summary, the usage did not meet criteria 10c (there was no rationale on the image page) and 8 (what he looked like is not important). The image of Henson is a free one, and so you can use that as you wish. J Milburn (talk) 22:29, 23 August 2011 (UTC)
Thanks for the message, enquire about this page. I can confirm, I did not cut-and-pasted the information, around the five points under the "BBC" section. I did in fact rewrite the 5 points into 5 highlighted points, and the 5 points do go into some details. I could upload a copy of this actual articular to prove this? I did rewrite, the best I can do at the moment a good amount of sourced information I pick up. There is some more work to do, I know some Ref are missing form the page. I take it with the REF to the times pages I will have to do the following: eg <> The times Monday, April 08, 1974 P45.Journalist name. <> I be honset its that bit which does confuse me abit when I read the pages.
There is at least one newspaper FREE online, Im not sure of the direct links can be done, but if I told how to view it would that help? When it comes to the The Guardian, There is a Website in which you have to pay to view but there have special code for anyone it seems to be able to view the site for free.(I don't understand it either) this would allow yourself to be able to view the ref in point.
I shall try and improve the page but as its only just be created in the last 24 hours im hoping to get it fully sorted over the next couple of days. Im still not sure if that page you suggested it prefect spot. I also hope to found more details about 8 month heated debate over this programme in the UK. I shall try and help you in anyway with the main SS page. User:Crazyseiko (talk) Still learning this part : P
In looking at the FAC, I thought there might be some early advertisement in collective works that might be public domain (material published between 1923 and 1977 and without a copyright notice). See Commons:Template:PD-US-no notice. Anyway, I have a subscription to newspaperarchive.com, which has (they claim) well over a billion newspaper pages available in their database. In any event, it beats Google News archive by orders of magnitude. So I did a search for Sesame Street starting in 1969, and in one of the early articles, they describe the origin of the show's name. I think this is essential information to have, if not in the history subsection of the article at FAC, then at least in the main article on the show's history. Do you have this information anywhere? If not, would you like a copy of the article (in PDF)?--Fuhghettaboutit (talk) 22:39, 30 August 2011 (UTC)
Hi,
If you would like to copyedit I would not mind. I be honest it could do with a clean up, I can give some other additions links for the ref if you wish:
I should point out that one section is still not finished: Independent Television Authority Report, at this rate it will take a will, I cant found actually copy of the report, just a newspaper spread about it. User:Crazyseiko (talk)

Hi
I have looked and there is no rules as far as I can see that Templates have to be blue in colour. I have also notice that there other examples in use around wiki. The reason as to "Why?!!" is simple down to the fact to give it a bit more colour but more importunately to highlight it a bit more to users reading pages, as some people can just over look dull grey boxes Especial if set to "close" I also used a colour linked to Sesame street Green. Of course I don't mind having a discussion about it on its discussion page Crazyseiko (talk)
I do like that! I mist that Green one, good job; I forgot to reply to message from earlier in the week, just to say: you are wrong on both counts :P but makes it worse as well it mean the Education broad has failed me big time, Maybe I should have watch more Sesame street :P Crazyseiko (talk)

Hi Christine,
Thank you for contacting me on this issue! I can see that you've been doing a lot of great work on Wikipedia; not a lot of people have that many stars at the top of their userpage. Your message on my talk page appears to make two suggestions about how to further the project: 1) to delete List of Sesame Street international co-production characters and 2) to move Sesame Street international co-productions back to International co-productions of Sesame Street. If I understand your message correctly, you agree that these two articles (if both were continue to exist) should have titles that are consistent with each other. Please correct me if I am wrong about your opinion on this subject. I do believe List of Sesame Street international co-production characters to be a notable topic worthy of a Wikipedia article; there are plenty of sources that could be added to the article, as is demonstrated by a few simple Google searches. All of the other lists of Sesame Street characters (as well as the majority of other lists of characters on Wikipedia) follow the "List of x characters" format. Two of Wikipedia's criteria for deciding on article titles are consistency and conciseness. The only way for all of these articles to be consistent with each other and with other similar articles is to employ the titles List of Sesame Street international co-production characters and Sesame Street international co-productions. These are also more concise titles than List of characters in international co-productions of Sesame Street and International co-productions of Sesame Street, thereby simultaneously fulfilling both the consistency and the conciseness criteria. The phrase "Sesame Street international co-productions" also appears in the literature on the subject, which a search on Google Scholar shows. Please contact me again if I have been unsuccessful in convincing you on either of these points. I know that you are dedicated to improving the Sesame Street articles on Wikipedia, so I want to make sure we're on the same page.
